Best Answer

"Los Angeles" is Spanish for "The Angels."

Or, perhaps more to the point would be, "The Angels" is English for "Los Angeles."

The Angels were originally called the Los Angeles Angels; the name "Angels" coming from the city's name, "The City of Angels."

Los Angeles translated means "City of the Angels". This is most likely how the team got their moniker.

Los Angeles means "city of Angles" so the team in result the team named the Angels.
